After the Sima army completed the assembly in Hanoi, Sima Shi volunteered to be the vanguard. Sima Yi approved it and allocated 30,000 infantry and cavalry to Sima Shi, with Chen Qian as the deputy general and Zhong Hui as the chief secretary. Ke Ri marched straight to Shimen Pass.

Shimen Pass is the only throat of the Hanoi entering Bingzhou. Whether the gate to Bingzhou can be opened is the most critical battle. In order to train and train Sima Master, Sima Yi specially asked him to lead the army alone to take the lead, which shows that Sima Yi has good intentions.

Sima Yi is nearly 70 years old and is about to reach his seventies. It is said that people live in seventy years. At this age, Sima Yi himself feels that he has not had much time.

But he did not dare to slack off at all, especially after the successful coup, Sima Yi became a powerful minister who controlled the government. Although he was glorious, Sima Yi was walking on thin ice and was as if he was in the abyss.

Because he knew that the so-called powerful ministers actually had two ways to go, one was Dong Zhuo's path, where he died, and there was no place to bury him. The other was Cao Cao's path, where he sought power and usurped the throne and changed the dynasty.

Apart from this, there is really no third way to go. It is impossible to retreat after success and retreat to the mountains and forests. Once the powerful ministers hand over power, the next step is the crazy counterattack and killing of opponents, and none of the descendants of the Sima family can be spared.

So when you embark on the road of a powerful minister, you will be destined to be unable to turn back. You can only go all the way to the dark. Even if Sima Yi is gone, the descendants of the Sima family will inherit the great cause and continue tenaciously.

As Sima Yi grew older, he became more worried about what the fate of the Sima family would go after his death. Without a keen and hard-working heir to the military, Sima Yi would not believe how far these descendants would go.

Therefore, cultivating successors has become a major event that Sima Yi tried his best to do. In the Battle of Huainan and the Battle of Hanzhong, Sima Yi asked Sima Shi and Sima Zhao to participate in the war respectively, hoping to take the opportunity to examine the leadership ability of these two sons.

Although Sima Shi and Sima Zhao performed well, the limelight was completely overwhelmed by Cao Liang, which means that Cao Liang's military ability was completely better than Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

This is probably not what Sima Yi wants to see the most. Now that Cao Liang is in charge of Bingzhou, Sima Shi requests to take charge of the commander to attack him. Sima Yi does not agree. It is not that Sima Yi does not want Sima Shi to have the opportunity to lead the army alone, but that he knows that Sima Shi cannot be Cao Liang's opponent.

An opponent like Cao Liang must be cut off by Sima Yi himself, and it must be cut off. If this goal cannot be achieved during Sima Yi's lifetime, it may bring disastrous consequences to the younger generation and grandchildren.

Of course, Sima Shi cannot be the leader, and being a pioneer is still qualified enough, and this is what Sima Yi wants to see most. After all, Sima Shi must inherit the great cause after all. What Sima Yi has to do is to help him get on the horse and send him off.

For Sima Shi, he wanted to prove himself even more urgently that the regrets and pain left to him by the Battle of Huainan were always swallowing his heart. In recent years, he served as the Central Guard Army. Although he was conscientious and dedicated, the Central Guard Army was not a war after all. He was extremely eager to lead the army to fight on the battlefield and find the lost things on the battlefield.

During the Luoyang Incident, he led his army to chase Cao Liang all the way, and even recorded the siege of Cao Liang's father Cao Yan in Beim Mountain. In the end, he failed to catch up with Cao Liang because of the isolation of the Yellow River, which made him regretful. That small battle could not satisfy Sima Shi's inner desire at all. His purpose was to lead thousands of troops and truly have a big fight.

Therefore, this time, Sima Shi was full of confidence and full of confidence. He had to open Shimen Pass and sound the clarion call of Sima's army's northern expedition.

Shimen Pass is not so much a pass, but rather a natural danger. A hole flashes out of the continuous and majestic Taihang Mountains, and both left and right look like a stone gate, so Shimen Pass is named after this.

Since Shimen Pass is located in the hinterland of Wei State, even if the terrain is dangerous, there is no need to set up a pass. Here we set up a checkpoint to check the merchants who come and go.

The terrain of Shimen Pass is also quite high. The Hanoi Plain is flat. When it reaches Shimen Pass, the terrain suddenly increases and is almost natural.

When the Bingzhou army withdrew from Henoi, the only place that had not been withdrawn was Shimen Pass. Sima Shi led his army all the way north and gradually approached Shimen Pass.

The weather in March is the most pleasant, with bright spring and warm wind. It is so comfortable to go to war this season.

However, as the terrain rises, the climate becomes colder. When you can see the towering mountains, Sima Shi put on the fur robe that he just took off, especially at night, you can also see frost and the cold wind thrilling.

It is also the most dangerous moment when camping at night. Sima Shi is familiar with these military common sense, not to mention that he has deputy general Chen Qian and Changshi Zhong Hui, these two people are extraordinary people. When camping at night, they will never leave any chance for the Bingzhou Army.

Zhong Hui was also a little clever. He suggested that Sima Shi deliberately leave some flaws when camping to lure the Bingzhou army to attack. If the Bingzhou army comes to attack, the Sima army can just encircle and annihilate it, and then send troops to attack Shimen Pass, which will be much easier and easier.

Sima followed Zhong Hui's plan and deliberately sold a big flaw when he was camping, and then mobilized elite troops to ambush outside the camp, waiting for the Bingzhou army to take the bait.

However, after waiting overnight, I did not see a half-person figure of the Bingzhou Army. It seemed that they were waiting in vain. The wind and cold dew were heavy. Sima Army, who had been ambushing in the grass for a night, was suffering. The march was already very hard. In addition, after a night of freezing, many soldiers suffered from wind and cold symptoms, and the loss of injuries made Sima Army's morale seem to be a little depressed.

Zhong Hui disagreed. This is the case with the war. Being prepared may not necessarily achieve ideal results, but not preparing may lead to disastrous consequences. The Bingzhou Army did not take the bait, not saying that there was anything wrong with his strategy, but that the opponent could only be more cautious. It seems that the battle in Shimenguan will not be too easy.

Sima Shi had a calm face. Their camp was only more than ten miles away from Shimen Pass. At dawn, Sima Shi ordered the whole army to gather, bury the pot and cook rice, and after a full meal, Sima Jun launched an attack on Shimen Pass, and the battle will start in full today.
